UNM scientists may have a fix. /local-news/2022-10-07/reseeding-after-wildfires-is-hard-unm-scientists-may-have-a-fix Only a quarter of seedlings planted after wildfires grow into trees. That’s a challenge forest managers are facing across the Southwest while drought and rising temperatures are causing wildfires to burn hotter and larger. But, one research team at the University of New Mexico may have found a way to ease the hard, manual labor of reseeding by better predicting seedling survival rates.
